Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleVIA
Taiwanese chipmaker VIA Technologies has filed a patent infringement suit against Apple, Bloomberg reports. The case was submitted yesterday through a federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, and accuses Apple of violating three US patents related to microprocessors.

iPad 3, LTE iPhone promise 'monster' Apple earnings next year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsAppleiPad 3
Is Apple’s product pipeline too full of home runs to fail? The release of the iPhone 5, a second entry-level iPhone, the next iPad and even next year’s 4G LTE-powered iPhone will help Apple maintain its series of “monster” quarters according to Wedbush analyst Scott Sutherland. He expects Apple to ship 26 million iPhones during the first quarter of next year, up from 23 million during the first quarter of this year. New product launches are the special sauce to Apple’s success, Sutherland says. “While the iPhone 4 appears to be selling well due to existing market demand and new markets, we expect a bump up from the iPhone 5 this October, and a lower end iPhone geared towards emerging markets...

Speaking during the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference on Thursday, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said he was confident that his company “would do very well” when it offers the iPhone 5, despite the influx of competition that is expected if Sprint introduces the phone.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
This weekend Apple opens two new Apple Stores in Asia. On September 23 the new Apple Store in Shanghai opens its doors followed by the new Hong Kong Apple Store on Saturday. According to MICGadget the local press in Hong Kong is talking about Tim Cook attending the Store openings. These store openings would mark the first public appearance of Tim Cook as CEO of Apple as far as i know.
Asia is a big driving factor for Apple's business. And the company is still at the very beginning to leverage the vast Asian market. It would be no surprise if Tim Cook is personally opening these two new Apple Stores. It would give Tim Cook nice PR to make this trip and he can enjoy some great Asian food while...

Apple's Fall event set for October 4th, Tim Cook to unveil iPhone 5
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
We’re getting closer and closer. According to AllThingsD, Apple is currently planning to hold the company’s Fall event on October 4th. The report also notes that Apple CEO Tim Cook will be introducing the iPhone 5 most likely without Steve Jobs, though it’s certainly possible Jobs could attend. As far as availability: “Sources added that the plan is now to make the new device available for purchase within a few weeks after the announcement.” We’d suggest that Apple is just setting expectations a little too low and if we had to bet, we’d say that the iPhone 5 would be available within two weeks of the announcement, possibly even a week after.

Unreal Engine 3 UDK heads to Mac OS X this month
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleMac OS X 10.6
If you are a computer gamer and you happen to prefer the Mac platform the lineup of games is much smaller that the PC gamers have access to. If there is a game made it generally hits the PC along with the game consoles whereas the Mac generally gets left out of the gaming party. That will be changing soon with an announcement from Epic.
Epic uses the Unreal Engine as the platform behind some of its coolest video games for the PC and more. About four years ago, Epic announced that it was bringing some of its most popular franchises to the Mac. That meant that the Unreal Engine needed to come to OS X as well. It has been four years since that promise of Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 com...

Skype Aware Of XSS Vulnerability In iOS Apps, “Working Hard To Fix” It
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 4iOS 5
If you’re using Skype for iOS on your iPhone or iPod touch, consider yourself warned: a cross-site scripting vulnerability looms in the “Chat Message” window in version 3.0.1 and earlier versions.

Samsung reportedly mulling a legal offensive against the new iPhone in Europe as well
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleiPhone 4s
Hot on the heels of yesterday's news that Samsung will try to ban the sales of Apple's next iPhone in Korea, basing its lawsuit on wireless patents infringement, now comes a Reuters piece alleging the same move in Europe as well.
The "source familiar with the matter" has disclosed that Samsung is planning to ask for an injunction against Apple's iPhone 5, or whatever the retail name ends up to be when it is about to launch next month in Europe, probably basing its counteroffensive on several wireless patents it holds, which will be featured in the new iPhone as well.
Apple is suing Samsung in a number of countries on four different continents, trying to ban sales of its tablets and smartphon...

T-Mobile CMO: no iPhone 5 on our network this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleT-MobileiPhone 4s
Hopes and dreams = shot. We've had a sneaky suspicion all along that T-Mobile would likely be the only major network not playing host to an iPhone 5 launch party this year, but we still kept our heads high because no official denial had been given from the company's C-level. That's now changed, since T-Mobile CMO Cole Brodman slammed us back into reality at a town hall meeting stating: "we are not going to get the iPhone 5 this year." It's a hard pill to swallow in such a short summation, but there might be a glimmer of hope -- technically Brodman only referenced one specific name. Since there's always a possibility that Apple will choose a different title for its fifth-gen device (or even a...

iPhone 5 Apple A5 processor reportedly spotted
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
What’s tipped to be the iPhone 5′s Apple A5 processor has been caught in the wild, the latest in a series of what’s said to be component leaks for the upcoming smartphone. The picture, posted to Chinese site Weibo, shows a board section that differs in design from the only public implementation of the A5, the iPad 2.
Opinions differ, however, as to the component’s authenticity, particularly because of the somewhat smudgy nature of the A5 processor labeling itself. The board is believed to be from an iPhone prototype, and uses a different battery to what’s inside the current iPhone 4; the existing smartphone has a 1,420 mAh pack, but what can be seen of the battery next to the A5 chipset sugg...

Apple hiring fresh security personnel
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple is hiring fresh personnel to beef up its security in the fight against counterfeiting and theft of its products, following yet another incident of a lost iPhone prototype.
The Cupertino-based company is searching for two experienced professionals to bump up its “new product security”. These workers would join a team at the $350-billion company that has included ex-FBI agents and other highly trained pros with backgrounds in intelligence and law enforcement. Geez, is this a tech company or a government defense contractor we’re talking about?
It should come as no surprise as to how Apple is hush-hush about its security problems, but Jim Stickley, co-founder of corporate security consulti...
